It's about time Oakland better utilized it's position as a picturesque seaport, and Bocanova, sure to be a marquee restaurant in the Jack London Square waterfront area, is a eat+drink+view triple threat in the same way SF's La Mar, Waterbar and Slanted Door are. Billed as a "pan-American" eatery, Bocanova covers cuisine (mostly in the form of shareable dishes to be eaten family-style) from North, Central and South America.

The Details on Bocanova
What to Drink:
For a sweet beverage worthy of sipping, try the Romantic Interlude (El Tesoro reposado, Patron coffee liqueur, Canton ginger liqueur and bitters) or the Raspberry Beret (Ri1 Rye, St. German Elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, simple syrup, raspberry puree, topped with Cava).
Fun Fact:
The pan-American idea was built from the cultural melting pot Chef Rick Hackett observed in the "family meals" restaurant staff enjoy before a shift.
